Found these last weekend in a marine layer (I believe Paleogene) in Northwest Colorado. There were also numerous shells and turtle scutes laying around.

 

They are a porcelain-like (on one side), navy blue and all diamond shaped. They were all found within 15 feet of each other and I saw nothing else like it out there. There were also 8 other broken pieces as well. Any ideas?

Well that was quick! And after a quick Google search I believe you are correct. Thanks RJB- this greenhorn greatly appreciates it.
